Dimes March Letters: About 20,000 letters asking support for the 1962 March of Dimes campaign for the National Foundation were delivered yesterday to the Ann Arbor Post Office. Making a last-minute check is Nancy McArtor of 1138 Lincoln Ave., Tappan Junior High School Student Council secretary. About 150 students at Tappan, Slauson and Forsythe Junior High Schools, plus firemen at the E. Stadium Blvd. station, addressed envelopes. The campaign mail is in a category handled on a volume basis, and Washtenaw County Hospital patients aided in counting envelopes.
